A Beautiful Start

Lyrics

[Verse 1] By the river where the cypress bends, You tie your apron, count your plans, A little brass in the morning air, A whole bright future waiting there. You keep one promise close inside, With steady hands and stubborn pride, No borrowed crown, no easy road, You build the dream you’re meant to hold. [Pre-Chorus] When the night says, “Not today,” You turn your heart the other way. [Chorus] Tiana, keep your eyes on the table you’re setting, Every small step is a dream you’re begetting. From a humble beginning to a room full of song, You knew where you belonged all along. Tiana, let the whole wide world see, A princess can rise by what she chooses to be. With a spoon in your hand and a wish in your heart, You make your own beautiful start. [Verse 2] There’s a recipe written in flour and ink, A dash of courage, a moment to think. Friends at the doorway, laughter nearby, A moon over water and stars in the sky. You learn that a promise can change its shape, That love is a door, not a golden escape. And when two brave hearts find the same way, The hardest old walls begin to give way. [Pre-Chorus] When the night says, “Not today,” You turn your heart the other way. [Chorus] Tiana, keep your eyes on the table you’re setting, Every small step is a dream you’re begetting. From a humble beginning to a room full of song, You knew where you belonged all along. Tiana, let the whole wide world see, A princess can rise by what she chooses to be. With a spoon in your hand and a wish in your heart, You make your own beautiful start. [Bridge] No castle came to find you, No silver road was laid. You carried hope beside you, And made the plans you made. Now every open doorway Feels brighter than before, Because the girl who kept on going Has become what dreams are for. [Final Chorus] Tiana, keep your eyes on the table you’re setting, Every small step is a dream you’re begetting. From a humble beginning to a room full of song, You knew where you belonged all along. Tiana, let the whole wide world see, A princess can rise by what she chooses to be. With a spoon in your hand and a wish in your heart, You make your own beautiful start. [Outro] By the river where the cypress bends, Your story starts, and starts again.
